Bio

From
two hours north of Detroit come the duo, Seritas. Combining heavy yet
melodic riffs and the soulful vocals of guitarist/singer Ryan Evans
with the urgent, pounding garage rock drums of Misty Evans and you
have a style of music that doesn't easily fit in to a genre, though
Garage Doom comes close. Both heavy and melodic with a proclivity for
live improvisation.

Band Members

Ryan Evans,
Guitar/Vocal

Drums/Vocal

Review:

Seritas
are a self-proclaimed Garage Doom band. WTF. Garage Doom. Seriously.
That's a new one on me but what the hell I will go with it. So what
is Garage Doom. Well think of the legendary Detroit Garage Rock scene
of the 60s/70s mixed with Doom. And that's what you end up with
superb hard-rocking duo – Seritas. It's cool they mix elements of
Soul, Hard Rock and Stoner Rock to stand out from the crowd.

Their
debut S/T EP is a heavy and fuzz laiden mix of sounds that feels like
a musical history lesson of the last 50 years or so. As the band pack
a lot of different styles of music that still sounds so damn fresh.
Yeah the production is very raw but that stems from their Garage Rock
roots.

Imagine
The White Stripes jamming with Black Sabbath and 60s/70s era Alice
Cooper and that's Seritas sound through and through. Now if that
doesn't get you interested then nothing will. I loved every second of
the EP as it's so different to what's currently out there. It really
is. Ryan and Misty have created something special indeed.

Give
them a chance. You will be pleasantly surprised. Shame it's not on a
few tracks longer as I wanted to hear more of the intense warped
psychedelic violent Garage Doom riffs that Seritas have created here.
